Leading By Example, Not Just Words....

Good Morning Christian Peeps!  Being a leader or a role model means leading by example.  We can't teach or show someone something that we ourselves are not doing.  Most people do not hear what we are saying but they are certainly seeing what we are doing.  It's important that we live by example. To our children, to our friends, co-workers and even our lay members.  There are teaching moments when just what we are doing tells a lot about ourselves.  Sometimes we think we are misunderstood but the reality is we are more understood than we know and what we are showing people are our true selves.  So with that being said, sometimes we have to step back and ask ourselves some questions before we try to tell others what they should be doing.  Such as: 1. What are my motives?  2. Am I being led by emotions?  3. What is the outcome I am wanting/expecting?  If the answer to these questions revolve around me than maybe it's time to search within to see what is missing that I feel the need to project onto others.  When we lead by example the need for words are much less than we think.   Love can lead where words cannot.  Maybe it's time to stop talking and start doing.....leading with love by example.  Be Blessed!
